Decorations like these can also be used inside, just make sure your solar panel is close to a sunny source (window, etc.) Solar String Lights make quite a statement when used in tabletop centerpieces or a big vase wrapped around some branches in a room corner. The great thing about using them for inside decor is that you don’t have to keep them close to an electric outlet. Just charge them during the day and use all night.

You can also throw your Solar String Lights on your trees and bushes outside to compliment your other Halloween decorations.
Another great idea is to put your solar string lights inside your carved pumpkins to light them up at night. Or just wrap them around your carved pumpkin heads.
